On today's Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Wholesaling Inc Edition), Brent is joined by Micah Nichols who breaks down how a Joe Home Buyer franchise in Kentucky made $250K from just six deals using a simple direct mail strategy—offering 90% of ARV to reel in seller leads. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: Micah and Brent discuss why direct mail is dominating over cold calls—and how answering calls live with the right tone can be the difference between closing and losing a deal. Deep dive into Micah's data service providing the probate and inherited property leads used by top investors in the Rhino Tribe. The mindset shift investors need: Stop trying to convince sellers. Instead, discover those who already want a cash-as-is offer and align with their goals.

John McNamera, a small Buick/GMC dealer on Long Island stole $450mil from GMAC from 1980-1991 by selling 248,000 conversion vans that didn't exist. How did he get caught?

It's a nice car!Finally, Dr Moran talks about the just-launched Ford Mustang GTD that starts at an astounding $327,960. That's a big number, but since it's a racing car for the street, it's not unreasonable.

What's the ultimate dream outcome for every small business owner? In this episode, Bradley breaks down why he believes every entrepreneur should be working toward a profitable, million-dollar-plus business that runs and grows without them - and challenges you to define what YOUR specific dream outcome looks like.Key TakeawaysThe Dream Outcome FrameworkA profitable, million-dollar-plus business that runs and grows without you1. ProfitableMinimum threshold: 10% net profit.Target range: 25% net profitability.Growth strategy: Some businesses can scale to 30% over 5 years (1% improvement annually).Why it matters: Profitability funds reinvestment for future growth (hiring, marketing, equipment, facilities).Key insight: "Profitability is a prerequisite for growth" - Craig Groeschel.2. Million-Dollar MarkThe reality: 91% of businesses never cross $1M in top-line revenue.Business survival: 96% don't see their 10th birthday.The advantage: Once you hit $1M, scaling to $2M happens in 25% of the time it took to reach the first million.Financial freedom: $1M business at 25% profit = $250K + your salary.3.

On today's Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Wholesaling Inc Edition), Brent is joined by Micah Nichols who breaks down how a Joe Home Buyer franchise in Kentucky made $250K from just six deals using a simple direct mail strategy—offering 90% of ARV to reel in seller leads.

  5 Types of Income to Create Infinite Income   - AZ TRT S06 EP09 (271) 5-25-2025              What We Learned This Week Multiple Streams of Income strategy 5 Types of Income – Career, Investment, Retirement Account, Pension, Tax Free Diversification of income provides you security and freedom Build Infinite Income thru initial investment, and profits pay off loans, then go on forever George Lucas created the Star Wars IP one time, and gets infinite returns from the movies & merchandise Real Estate, Business, and Insurance products are good assets for infinite income     Notes:   Segment 1: The 5 Types of Income – Why One Stream Isn't Enough Opening: The Economic Shift ·         The economic landscape has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. ·         While business and technology have advanced, personal finance education and systems haven't kept pace. ·         Inflation has significantly eroded purchasing power. ·         It's no longer the 1950s where one income could support a family of four. Now, two incomes are often required—and even then, many people have a third gig. The New Normal: Side Hustles & Financial Reality ·         According to recent stats, 70% of people need an additional income stream, often from a side business or freelance work. ·         30% of Americans hold a second job. ·         Among millennials, that number rises to 50%.     The Lesson from Robert Allen & Rich Dad, Poor Dad ·         Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income advocated for income diversification to gain safety and freedom. ·         Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad emphasized acquiring income-producing assets—his favorite being real estate. The 5 Types of Income 1.    Career or Business Income Your primary, day-to-day W-2 income—pays the bills and covers monthly expenses. 2.    Investment Income Comes from appreciating or income-producing assets like real estate, stocks, or Bitcoin. 3.    Retirement Accounts Tax-deferred income sources like IRAs or 401(k)s—subject to rules and penalties but critical for long-term planning. 4.    Guaranteed Income Comes from pensions, annuities, or Social Security. Designed for lifetime income and stability. 5.    Tax-Free Income Generated through Roth IRAs or cash value from life insurance. You pay tax on the seed, not the harvest. Call to Action: ·         Make a list of which of the five types of income you currently have. ·         Strategize how to build the remaining ones for a balanced, resilient financial future. Analogy: Just like a business has multiple products or a sports team has multiple ways to score, individuals should have diverse income sources to win financially. Segment 2: Infinite Income – Building Streams That Never Run Dry What Is Infinite Income? ·         Infinite income is ongoing, residual income that continues long after the original work or investment. ·         It's the financial holy grail: put in work or money once, get paid over and over. Key Assets That Can Generate Infinite Income: ·         Tangible Assets: Real estate, businesses, stocks ·         Intangible Assets: Skills, knowledge, intellectual property (IP), network Examples of Infinite Income in Action 1. Real Estate ·         Buy a $250K property with 10% down ($25K). ·         Renters pay the mortgage; property appreciates. ·         Refinance later, pull out your original investment tax-free. ·         Continue collecting rental income even after loan is paid off. ·         Use refinance funds to buy more properties → Repeat → Scale. 2. Business Ownership ·         Start or buy a business using a loan. ·         Profits pay off the loan, then continue to generate revenue. ·         Later, use the business as collateral to expand or acquire another. 3. Life Insurance (IUL Strategy) ·         Fund a policy over time; cash value grows tax-deferred. ·         Take loans against the policy tax-free—used as supplemental retirement income. ·         Policy can also be a legacy tool, passing on wealth tax-free. 4. Intellectual Property (IP) ·         George Lucas with Star Wars—created once, profits for decades from merchandise and licensing. ·         Jeff Bezos still profits from Amazon stock, 30 years later. ·         Microsoft, McDonald's, Coca-Cola—IP and systems built once, revenue continues for decades. ·         DC Comics still profiting off Superman IP created in the 1930s. Key Principles for Building Infinite Income ·         Choose the Right Assets: Real estate, businesses, IULs—not just assets that appreciate, but ones that cash flow. ·         Leverage and Scale: Use debt wisely to scale income-producing assets. Wealthy individuals and private equity firms use this strategy constantly. o    Example: PE firms acquire HVAC companies, funeral homes, rental properties—assets that provide consistent 10%+ returns. ·         Use Tax Strategy to Your Advantage: o    Tax-free income is more efficient. o    Lowering your tax burden increases your net income immediately. o    Wealthy individuals use loans, Roths, and life insurance to optimize tax efficiency. Mindset Shift: ·         Don't chase just “buy low/sell high” assets. Instead, acquire harvestable assets—ones that generate regular income and can appreciate. ·         Build cash flow now, use it to reinvest in more assets—repeat the cycle. Closing Thought: ·         Control three things: Assets, Income, Taxes. ·         Master those, and you create not just wealth—but infinite income.     Investing Shows: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Investing-Stocks-Bonds-Retirement       ‘Best Of' Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+of+BRT      Thanks for Listening.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1059: Today we're talking about the strength of dealership valuations despite sluggish buy-sells, Waymo's exponential takeover of the robotaxi race, and why your old boss might be your next one.Show Notes with links:The Q1 2025 Haig Partners Report says that despite solid performance metrics, dealership buy-sells dropped to the lowest first-quarter level in a decade, reflecting uncertainty in a year shaped by economic and political headwinds.Only 68 rooftops were sold, as public groups largely sat out; a sharp contrast to recent high-activity periods.Public dealers averaged $1M in Q1 pre-tax profits, with trailing 12-months at $3.9M—nearly double pre-pandemic levels.Blue sky values held firm at $20.7M, down just 1% from Q4 2024 and still nearly double pre-2020 benchmarks.Tariff concerns, election-year volatility, and OEM pricing strategies have many sellers in a wait-and-see mode.“These are often short-term fluctuations in what is ultimately a long-term business,” the report notes.What started as a quiet experiment has exploded into a transportation revolution. Waymo's self-driving service is scaling at a staggering pace, reshaping rider habits and leaving competitors scrambling to catch up.The ride-hailing company passed 10 million cumulative rides, with 20 million projected by year's end. Weekly rides jumped from 10K in 2023 to over 250K by mid-2025.March alone saw a 27% spike in San Francisco usage—a major behavioral shift.Expansion continues in Phoenix, LA, SF, and Austin; plus, Waymo is mapping 10+ new cities including Tokyo.Tesla is set to launch its own robotaxi service, using a camera-only, AI-first approach—far cheaper but less tested than Waymo's sensor-heavy, safety-first model.“This isn't science fiction. It's not the future. It's happening now,” said Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana.As economic uncertainty lingers, both workers and employers are turning to familiarity. The share of new hires who are former employees—aka boomerang workers—is climbing again, especially in tech and media.March data shows that 35% of hires were returning employees, particularly in the information sector.Employers value boomerangs for cultural fit, performance history, and quick onboarding.Job seekers face longer searches and more layoffs—making old employers more appealing.Experts say your exit matters—managers increasingly view resignations as a potential pause, not a goodbye.“You want to get the best bang for your buck, and often it's a returning employee,” said ADP Chief Economist Nela RichardsonJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

How does a former restaurateur and retail franchisee pivot into managing nearly $19M in real estate assets? In this compelling episode, Brian Plumer shares his journey from struggling to sell his first fix-and-flip in 2008 to now owning over 1,000 units across multifamily and self-storage.

Brian opens up about his early failures, the mindset shifts that fueled his success, and why self-storage has become his secret weapon for scalable, resilient investing. 5 Key Takeaways from Brian Plumer's Episode:From Retail to Real Estate: Brian's first failed flip turned into a long-term rental—and his gateway into passive income and multifamily investing.Self-Storage Strategy: Pivoting to self-storage gave Brian access to off-market deals with seller financing, lower management headaches, and powerful cash flow.Raising Capital with Credibility: He started small—$250K from friends and family—and learned that confidence, transparency, and trust are more important than pitch decks.Fund of Funds Future: Inspired by the HERO Alliance, Brian is building toward a fund-of-funds model to scale without taking on asset management roles.Consistency Beats Speed: Whether taking baby steps or giant leaps, Brian emphasizes staying the course, finding mentors, and building relationships as the key to long-term success.About Tim MaiTim Mai is a real estate investor, fund manager, mentor, and founder of HERO Mastermind for REI coaches.He has helped many real estate investors and coaches become millionaires.
